Tobacco Quota Rel-t’.ettdum tr.e gro'.ver may vote for guotas for three, years, one year or against all quotas; while witii another poll holder he can vote lor or against the annual assessment of ten cents per acre for 1950, 1951, .and 52. The 1947 Legislature passed an enabling act to permit growers to \-ote This .assessment upon them selves to support' an export pro motion program, handled by . To bacco Associates. Inc. There has been sonte opposition to the To bacco Associates' latel.v, so;r.c a- gainst the ' type of organization and some against it claiming it hasn’t iteen ■ effective in promot ing the si.Ie of tobacco overseas. While o.n the other side. Farm Organization Leaders claim that the problem has been effective and L. T. Weeks,'Manager .of the Stabilization Corporation says, “The work of Tobacco Associates in opening up sales channels has enabled us to move large quanti ties o'f tobacco that would not have been sold otherwise.” De cide whether you think the pro gram is worth 10 cents per acre of tobacco, then vote accordingly. In the other referendum on to bacco quotas, which is more fam iliar to us, I_ thing that the Im portant thing is getting a large percentage of growers, to vote. Generally the attitude of most growers oh quotas and support prices is already' fixed, but the influence that this referendum has on the Tobacco Program in Wash ington -.vill ’oe dOlermine.d largely by the percentage of tobacco growers who actually vote on Saturday. 0 TO BROADCAST SERMON • IMiu'ke'.ing Quotas and Tobacco .;oci: to.'’ export program , arc ■'aecessary to the prosperity of the due-cured belt,” T.
